To assess the possible physiological role of the atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) family, we investigated the expression of mRNA of ANP, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), and their receptors in rat inner ear using the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction method. ANP and CNP message bands were detected in the inner ear, but the BNP message band was not. Amplification products of the expected sizes of ANP-A, ANP-B and ANP-C receptors were detected in the inner ear. These results suggest that natriuretic peptide family may influence the function of the inner ear through the ANP-A, ANP-B, and ANP-C receptors.
